The chip is designed to track Vdimm, and it sounds like it works well.

Why does my crappy mem runs at 160mhz while i checked the ddr400 divider ... when i choose 1:1 i get 100mhz :S

And my AGP/PCI locks doesnt seem to work (bios 1005.020) .. when i enable it i get the nice womans voice that says CPU failed due to CPU overclock ...
And clockgen doesnt seem to like me because i cant change any clocks :S

very weird all in all :)

it's because your memory is SPD branded at PC2700 (even if it's 3000 or 3200)....board won't allow <3200 memory to run 1:1 (2:1 DR400) ... same as K8V Dlx.......

Now if I can just figure out why MAX Vddr is 3.15v and then locks up desktop??

maybe theres overvolt protection or over current protection that you need to disable somehow

No it doesn't fit. The only decent one that sort of fits on the a8v is the microcool. I did put the thermalright one on the Abit AV8 though.

I haven't tried 2x256, but Sierra's flys on 2x256 compared to most of the others so far on 2x512, but may be coincidence.

did you try the Swiftech? And I haven't seen any "final" verdicts on the v2000 lian li case.... I know you've had yours for a while now, what's the grade?

Charlie, I saw something the mbmod section that someone said they got the pin6 to ground vdimm mod to work if they set the vdimm to auto. Have you tried that with your mod?

didn't try swifty. There are a couple caps real close to the nb on the asus.

V2000 is awesome. I love having the compartments and nothing cramped up. Just need to add a couple fans here and there for optimal air flow.

Abit off topic, (pun intended), but is there any reason to up the voltgage on the NB or SB or HTT since I have these settings in the bios?

Hey, I had a Vapo XE on mine with a LS on the CPU. :D
Too bad it flaked out on me, started with the mentioned above hot reboot issue were when I rebooted it aways would go amber on the monitor and i`d have to unplug the p/s to boot again and now has degraded to the point were on air at auto detect and std or underclocked CPU it will not even load the OS without corrupting the screen and locking up. Reboot with the restart button and amber light on the monitor, pull the power cord and put it back in and it boots right back up and gets so far (never the same place twice) and locks up with a corrupted locked screen.

No.....doesn't work on mine....in fact, changing the resistance with it set to auto, doesn't even change the Vdimm, not a bit... just sticks at 2.63v

I think I'm going to RMA my Mushkin PC4000's.

What are the best memory modules (2x512) that will run at at least 250MHz (DDR 2:1 in bios) with the lowest timings @ 2.8V max ?

Thanks...

Too bad, was hoping it would allow for some higher vdimm

Well from what I understand, guys....the only sticks that MAY fo that.... would be the OCZ 3700EB, 2 x 512mB.
They'll probably do 250ish at 3-2-2-7-11-16......

The Corsair XL's or OCZ's version of the same are agood bet for low lat at ddr500 compared to most.
